+Type Option represents an optional value: every Option is either Some and contains a value, or None, and does not.
 Option types are very common in Rust code, as they have a number of uses:

 - Initial values
 - Return values for functions that are not defined over their entire input range (partial functions)
 - Return value for otherwise reporting simple errors, where None is returned on error

 # Smart Pointers

 In Rust, smart pointers are variables that contain an address in memory and reference some other data, but they also have additional metadata and capabilities.
 Smart pointers in Rust often own the data they point to, while references only borrow data.

 In this way, traits are somewhat similar to Java interfaces and C++ abstract classes.
 
 Some additional common Rust traits include:
+
 - `Clone` (the `clone` method)
 - `Display` (which allows formatted display via `{}`)
 - `Debug` (which allows formatted display via `{:?}`)
 
 Because traits indicate shared behavior between data types, they are useful when writing generics.
